Evergas is still targeting new ventures in the small LNG carrier market, although these are on hold while it awaits a settlement with creditors of parent company Jaccar Holdings.

Evergas also plans to walk away from the pressurised LPG carrier business with the redelivery of its small-ship fleet once present charters have run.

Owner Jacques de Chateauvieux recently reiterated his support for niche investments in specialised gas shipping, including LNG, but told TradeWinds that any such investments would have to wait for the clarification of restructuring agreements.
